Michael Sheridan
b. 1715
d. 1770
Nephew (some sources say son) to Sir Thomas Sheridan. He set out on the Elizabeth with Charles Edward Stuart, but returned to France after being wounded in the battle with the HMS Lion. After recovering, he managed to go on to Scotland to join the Rising and aid in the rescue of Charles (Hayes, "Irishmen in France," pp. 526-27). The Muster Roll has him as Master of Horse in the Jacobite Army (p. 8), while Hayes states he as aide-de-camp to Charles Edward Stuart.
